At the June 20, 2013 meeting, the Back Mountain Community Partnership presented Dr. Michael MacDowell with a gift of appreciation on his retirement from Misericordia University. The Back Mountain Community Partnership recognized Dr. MacDowell on 15 years of service to the Back Mountain Community.

The Back Mountain Community Partnership (BMCP) consists of six member municipalities in Luzerne County: Dallas Borough, Dallas Township, Franklin Township, Jackson Township, Lehman Township and Kingston Township. In 2008, state Sen. Lisa Baker, in cooperation with Misericordia University and the NEPA Alliance, provided the impetus for the formation of the Partnership. The BMCP has worked cooperatively on a number of projects to improve the Back Mountain community. The BMCP meets monthly at Misericordia University in Dallas.

For more information, contact Back Mountain Community Partnership Chairman John J. Wilkes Jr. at 570-675-6008 or jay@jacksontwpluzco.com.
